Description

It would be useful to include support for Git in the standard jenkins distribution.

As a new Jenkins user, I will like to choose a feature area that I am interested in and Jenkins installs the related plugins for me.

As I mentioned on the mailing list, the first run experience is kind of weird. A guided tour through the basic concepts, the most important settings of Configure System, and a subset of Manage Plugins (as to not overwhelm the newcomer) might be helpful.

IMO the only bundled plugins should be whatever used to be in core, plus their new dependencies, for compatibility reasons. And those might not even need installing by default, but only if an older version that might otherwise break (e.g. <1.466 for LDAP plugin) is detected.
